Like, it's going to drop in quality, sure. I don't think I know any sitcoms or long running shows in general that didn't.

But modern Simpsons isn't just bad, it's like it's intentionally trying to be as unfunny as possible. They drop a joke and I get genuinely confused what they were trying to do or if they thought it was funny.

Bad writers coupled with farming out the animation so now it looks squeaky clean instead of the early-season hand-drawn quality

Writers moved on to other shows. Couple that with the flanderization of every character, jokes focusing mostly on references because that became a trend, and storylines that shifted from the core family and you get where we are now.

Simpsons used to be a place where new writers would cut their teeth alongside seasoned veterans but it's mostly a hodgepodge of people struggling to find a good gig. It's still a good place for voice actors tho. They put on one of my friends who's now doing a shit ton of work. Even voices a popular Genshin Impact character now lol

I really miss the more crude animation. Same goes for South Park.
